R.I.P. Pete Postlethwaite
Pete Postlethwaite, the man who played Mr. Kobayashi as the right hand of Keyser Sose in the movie Usual Suspects, died yesterday at the age of 64. That character was kind of the inspiration for the name of my blog. Pete Postlethwaite was a gifted actor and had one of the friendliest faces I’ve ever seen. R.I.P.

Thank you all so much for listening. Thanks Wout for doing the presentation and thanks Rik and Dennis for inviting me. Am so sorry I couldn’t be there on time myself, because I got stuck at the Irish bar next door, where the pints of Guinness were just tasting too good… :-P
Cheers!

R.I.P. Mr. Fractal
Benoit Mandlebrot has died.
For the ones knowing fractals only as early acid house VJ material, I put up a video where the good man himself explains the form. Also because I really cannot explain it myself.

Iceland Love
You know sometimes when you get back home from something that was so good, you feel all nostalgic and you so want to go back and all that sort of things. You might even consider living there. I have that feeling now.
That dude in the clip describes it perfectly, Iceland (Airwaves) and its people are just special. You gotta go see it.
We saw some great shows again this year, to name a few: Hercules and Love affair, Moderat, Mount Kimbie, Everything Everything, Gablé, Efterklang , Junnip and the list goes on and on.

Pirate Conference
Here they are, the lectures of Matt Mason and Rob Scholte at the Pirate Coneference at Incubate this year. Both very inspiring, so very worth while watching.
Afterwards we went out with mr. Mason for ‘a few’ beers and a some dance moves. Great guy!

Thanks again Darko!
The master of tattoo put some flying objects on my old chest.
Always nice to be there and have good talks about things like Hip Hop, spirituality, science and Hemaworstje, of whom we are big fans (Hope you read it Hema!).

Tilburg Forever!
It’s over. Tilburg’s best week of the year has come to an end again. We’re more dead then alive but we are smiling. Incubate festival has shown again that smallness can be greater then great.

Seeing my friend and employee Wout Withagen next to Charles Leadbeater in a panel discussion. We help Incubate, Incubate helps us. Thanks guys.Monday:
